General Morrowind Mod Discussion Thread, a place for open discussions, idea and resource sharing etc Options

[Uleni Athram]

As the title and description says, I made this here thread so we happy few that are playing and modding TES3 can have a singular place where we can have discussions about mods, share our ideas and resources regarding mods, post our WIP mods and maybe even help/contribute to each other's mods!

So to start off, here are the resources I am currently referring to for guidance when I'm working on my projects. Note, however, that since I've only started playing with the Construction Set (and Morrowind in general) this week, a majority of the following will be meant for newbies like me. So if y'all are veterans (which I know you guys are lmao), they might not offer what you already don't know:
---

1. Morrowind Modding Showcases' Lets Mod Morrowing YouTube Playlist

2. DanaePlays' Morrowind Modding Tutorial YouTube Playlist

3. Morrowind Mod Subreddit Community
3A. Morrowind Mod Subreddit Resources (their exhaustive list of resources are absolutely top-notch; No.1 and No.2 are actually listed there)

With that out of the way, the mod I'm currently working on is quite a simple one but should get my feet wet with all the basics. Its not anything fancy, really; I want to implement a bunch of mercenaries that you can hire anytime you want, with a simple questline that would unlock their services. I've already created the appropriate NPCs and I'm about to tackle the probably easy task of designing their base of operations. Once I'm done with the latter I'll probably do their unique dialogues next and from there, maaaaaaybe try my hand at their custom scripts? /shrugs/

So how about you guys? What are you guys working on?

I'm not certain, but because Morrowind NPC's basically stay put, and don't wander around, they just don't encounter enemies, and so don't need factions etc. It's really only the player that goes out and finds the bandits.

Npc's can be given small areas to wander in, but it wasn't until Oblivion that they got travel AI added,

Right. I have seen guards attack vanilla enemies before. In Seyda Neen, Pelagiad, Balmora, etc... there are times I've dragged a cliff racer or some other enemy into town, and all the guards start doing something about it. Maybe it has something to do with the Fight stat (or whatever). I'll have to look into that. Tearing into someone else's mod once again, lol.

As far as my character goes, I forgot she has Star Curse, which is a Lesser Power for her. She is able to poison enemies with this and it does quite a lot of damage, and that one bandit fell.
